A local business has an area reserved behind the store for a parking lot that is 78 meters long by 19 meters wide. The stalls of the lot are at 90° angles to a required aisle that bisects the lot. The aisle is 8 meters by 78 meters. Use the layout of the parking lot to answer the questions. What is the total area available for cars to park? m2. If the parking spaces are compact, they have an area of 12.5 m2. How many compact parking spaces will fit in the lot? . If the parking spaces are not compact, they will be 3 meters by 5.5 meters. How many noncompact parking spaces will fit in the lot?

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Total  area available for car parking is  [tex]\rm\bold{ 858 \; m^2}[/tex]

(2) 68 compact parking spaces will fit in the lot.

(3) 52  non compact parking spaces will fit it the lot.  

Parking lot behind the store is has a rectangular shape

Total area available in the parking lot =  Length of the parking lot [tex]\times[/tex] Width of the parking lot

Length of the parking lot  = 78 m

Width of the parking  lot = 19 m

[tex]\rm Area\; of \; the \; parking \; lot = 78 \times 19 = 1482 \; m^2[/tex]

Given that aisle bisects the parking lot it means it passes through the center of the  parking lot area

(1) The Width of aisle = 8 m

Length of the aisle =  78 m

[tex]\rm Area\; of \; aisle = 78 \times 8 = 624 m^2[/tex]

[tex]\rm The\; remaining \; area\; for\; parking = 1482 - 624 = 858 \; m^2[/tex]

So we can conclude that the total  area available for car parking = [tex]\rm 858 \; m^2[/tex]

(2)  According to the given situation  If the parking spaces are compact, they have an area of [tex]\rm 12.5 \; m^2[/tex]

We have to determine that how many compact parking spaces will fit in a lot

So Since the area of one compact space is [tex]\rm 12.5 \; m^2[/tex] and the total area available for parking is [tex]\rm 858 \; m^2[/tex]  the number of compact parking spaces available will be determined as follows

Let "n" be the number of compact parking spaces available.

[tex]\rm n \times 12.5 = 858 \\n = 858/12.5 \\n = 68.64 \approx 68[/tex]

So  68 compact parking spaces will fit in the lot.

(3) The Length for one non compact parking space = 5.5 m

Width for one non compact parking space = 3 m

[tex]\rm Area\;of \; one \; non \; compact \; parking \; space = 3\times 5.5 = 16.5 \; m^2[/tex]

Let there be "N" number of non compact parking spaces available

Hence we can  write that

[tex]\rm N \times 16.5 = 858 \\N = 858/16.5 = 52[/tex]

So 52 non compact parking spaces will fit it the lot.
